The group formed in the 1980s but has become less active in recent years.
Secretary Pete Gibson, a fourth-generation Nanneella farmer, has been involved with the group for decades.
He said keeping Landcare groups active and thriving was extremely important.
“There’s a drive now, particularly from peri-urban areas, to get back out to the bush again and to reconnect with nature,” he said.
“I’ve always believed you leave a place better than when you inherited it.”
A key focus area for the group will be pest, plant and animal management and revegetation of Nanneella bushland reserve. The group hopes to get Parks Victoria involved with future events such as tree planting.
Group members would also like to raise the profile of the reserve, including re-installing an informative walking trail with signs labelling the plants and trees.
The way the land is treated has come full-circle in Australia.
When Mr Gibson's ancestors settled in Nanneella in 1869, to retain the land they were expected to clear it, but now landowners are encouraged to plant trees.
Group member Dan Walker said it was important to restore the land that has been heavily impacted over the past 100-plus years.
“We’re not saying plant everything up,” he said.
“I think you can look at a farm and just do small sections for biodiversity and still farm and crop.”
For National Tree Day, the group is holding a tree planting event in Nanneella on July 31, with music and a barbecue, thanks to Lockington Lions Club.
Everyone is welcome to attend the family-friendly event.
